Bravo: Turning 100 and wiping out

As Avery Streech's daughter put it in her email, when you are turning 100 you party like a rockstar.

Streech partied with family and some 80 guests for his centennial celebration.

He was born on his parents' orange ranch on Raymond Avenue in 1913. He's a product of all Fullerton schools, including Fullerton Union High. Mom was a school bus driver for the district.

Streech worked as an electrical contractor and was the owner of Streech Electric in town for 47 years. He is a 75-year member of the IBEW union.

He has six grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren.

Fullerton man on "Wipeout"

Fullerton native Tyler Appel was recently part of the filming for the reality game show "Wipeout." His episode is expected to air in June, and he's under strict orders to keep mum about the outcome.

The Fullerton College student auditioned for the show in August – with about 300 other people, dad Jim Appel said in an email. The auditions were held at the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney.

"Only a small percent of the contestants made it the next step, which was a screen test," Jim Appel wrote. "He must have dazzled the directors because in December he was called and told he had been selected to be on the show."

The episode was filmed in January at the "Wipeout" location in Santa Clarita and Appel competed against 24 others for a chance to win $50,000.

"A non-disclosure agreement prevents him from sharing the outcome of the show," Jim Appel wrote. "However he will share the fact that he had a lot of fun, bruises and aches and pains."
